2025 Aug Colombia Electrical Transformers (HS 8504) Export Snapshot: Price Dip
August Trend: Colombia Electrical Transformers Export
Electrical Transformers, classified under HS Code 8504 (Electrical transformers, static converters (for example, rectifiers) and inductors), saw exports decline in August, with unit prices dropping 9.98% MoM to $11.62/kg and export value falling 9.07% MoM to $32.56M USD. Shipment volume remained nearly flat at 2.80M kg, up just 1.01% MoM, suggesting weak demand despite lower prices. The downturn follows July’s 10.25% MoM drop in export value, reinforcing a softening trend. Notably, 10% universal U.S. tariffs imposed in April 2025 may have contributed to sustained pressure on Colombian exports.

Get Colombia Electrical Transformers Historical Export Data
Geographic Concentration & Market Logic
The U.S. dominates Colombia’s electrical transformers exports, accounting for 69.7% of value but just 59.4% of weight, signaling a premium market demanding high-grade or specialized units. Puerto Rico and Panama follow as secondary hubs, with Puerto Rico’s 14.3% weight share exceeding its 9.8% value share, suggesting a bulk logistics role. Ecuador’s 44.9% quantity share but minimal value (1%) hints at low-margin, high-volume shipments. The structure reveals a dual strategy: premium exports to the U.S. and cost-driven bulk flows to regional hubs. Supply chains prioritize value capture over speed, with the U.S. as the clear profit anchor.

Colombia HS Code 8504 Breakdown & Value Logic
yTrade data reveals HS 8504219000 (transformers ≤650kVA) dominates Colombia's August 2025 exports, capturing 65% frequency and 41% value—a clear volume-driven play with mid-range pricing (13.32M USD for 3.22K units). The remaining sub-codes, including high-capacity transformers (>10,000kVA), contribute higher per-unit value but lack scale, suggesting Colombia’s HS Code 8504 Export market prioritizes broad accessibility over premium niches. This signals a steady demand for mid-tier industrial infrastructure, not a shift toward high-value specialization.
